Good afternoon,
We are pleased to share that we had the perfect day weather-wise for the Crystal Bay Winter Carnival this past Thursday. Students and staff enjoyed snowshoeing, snowperson building, sleds, snow painting, ball toss, hoola hoop games, snow bowling and especially fresh baked beaver tails, maple taffy and hot chocolate! Please read to the end to see some photos.
It was lovely to see some of you at the March 1st Transition Planning Fair. We hope that you found the resources helpful.
